..We propose that goosecoid does play a role in regulating the neural inducing strength of the node and that regulative mechanisms exist which mask the early phenotypic consequences of goosecoid mutations in the intact mouse embryo...

..HES-6 is also expressed in the trunk, in the dorsal root ganglia and in the myotomes. In the limb buds HES-6 is expressed in skeletal muscle and presumptive tendons...

Chordin regulates primitive streak development and the stability of induced neural cells, but is not sufficient for neural induction in the chick embryo

A StreitDepartment of Genetics and Development, College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University, New York, NY 10032, USADevelopment 125:507-19. 1998

..These results suggest that the regulation of BMP signalling by chordin plays a role in primitive streak formation and that chordin is not sufficient to induce neural tissue...

Formation and maintenance of the organizer among the vertebrates

K JoubinDepartment of Genetics and Development and Center for Neurobiology and Behavior, Columbia University, New York, USAInt J Dev Biol 45:165-75. 2001

..We also suggest that these mechanisms are required to ensure the appropriate location of the organizer property in the gastrula, where cells are continuously moving...

The prechordal region lacks neural inducing ability, but can confer anterior character to more posterior neuroepithelium

A C FoleyDepartment of Genetics and Development, College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University, New York, NY 10032, USADevelopment 124:2983-96. 1997

..The competence of neuroectoderm to respond to anteriorizing signals declines by stages 7-9, but both posteriorizing signals and the ability of neuroectoderm to respond to them persist after this stage...

Activin and its receptors during gastrulation and the later phases of mesoderm development in the chick embryo

C D SternDepartment of Genetics and Development, College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University, New York, New York 10032, USADev Biol 172:192-205. 1995

Evolution of vertebrate forebrain development: how many different mechanisms?

..Moreover, while reconciling the two main models, our findings provide stronger support for Nieuwkoop's ideas than for the concept of multiple organisers, each inducing a distinct region of the CNS...

Combined whole-mount in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry in avian embryos

A StreitDepartment of Genetics and Development, Columbia University, 701 West 168th Street, No. 1602, New York, New York 10032, USAMethods 23:339-44. 2001

..Here we present a protocol that permits the simultaneous localization of RNA transcripts and immunocytochemical localization of proteins in the chick embryo...

Expression of HGF/SF, HGF1/MSP, and c-met suggests new functions during early chick development

C TheryDepartment of Genetics and Development, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, New York 10032, USADev Genet 17:90-101. 1995

..Interestingly, c-met is often more closely associated with HGF1/MSP than with its known ligand, HGF/SF, raising the possibility that c-met expression may be induced by HGF1/MSP...
